Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

This study investigates the mechanical properties and interfacial bonding of Polyamide 12 filled with Glass Fiber (PA12/GF) lattice structures overmolded with Nylon 66 (PA66) and Thermoplastic ...

The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...
